The Rural Alberta Advantage were unknown to me prior to walking into the Central Presbyterian Church in Austin a couple months back. They were opening for Grizzly Bear and what a pleasant surprise they were. I picked up a copy of Hometowns recently and have since been pretty enamored with it.

A few weeks ago came news that they’d signed with Saddle Creek, which is great news as it means they’ll get the proper push (and eventual re-release) of Hometowns.

I’m thrilled to announce that they’re confirmed to play the High Noon Saloon in Madison on Sunday, June 21st. As always, we’ve got a ton of great shows coming through, but if you trust my recommendation, please go see these guys. You will not be disappointed.

Tickets: $8
Support: The Celebrated Workingman + Meridene
